i will mainly use this build for gaming. this will be my first build so any feedback would be greatly helpful
i did not include any case fans as i am not sure where to even begin, and some advice on the psu would be nice too, are there any better-similarly priced psu's out there? im mainly looking for quiet-ness and not a mess of cables in my build.
i have overcloaking in mind so any advice on that will be helpful.
i was wondering also if i should wait for the pentium g3258 instead though, should i? i wouldnt want to be bottleneck-ing as a result of it, is it worth it?
Unlocked just means you can OC it. Doesn't have anything to do with performance.
And no IDC what people are saying the Pentium is kinda shit. Even with a massive OC I don't find it particularly impressive. The i5 will really stomp it.
TBH I don't really get your build. Why two really expensive SSDs? Not much storage especially for a gaming rig.
What is your budget?
I would go with an AMD 8320 with a R9 280 or an FX 6300 teamed with the R9 280
i won those SSDs from ncix's may subscribe&win event.
i tried staying on the blue n green team, i dont know they just appeal more to me but i dont know much about the red team to be honest. i play mostly indie games and mmo's if that is of any help.
Ahh okay makes sense. I still suggest you go with a 1TB mechanical for games and media.

Sorry, but fanboyism is dumb. Not implying you are one, but you shouldn't stick with one company just because. You should pick the best parts for the job that fit your budget and if certain parts will do the job just as well for less than why not go with those? Blue/Green? Red? They aren't teams. Sorry. They are companies. I hate the way people refer to them like that it just breeds fanboys. Plus you can pair an Intel CPU and an AMD GPU or an AMD CPU and a Nvidia GPU. Blue/Green don't necessarily go together.
Now comes the part where I have to prove I'm unbiased and not a fanboy or else people yell. Main rig AMD 8350 with a GTX 780, mITX rig Intel Xeon 1230v3 with a GTX 760, Office Rig AMD Athlon II X4 with a GTX 650 Ti, Laptop Intel i7 with a GT 745m, Living Room PC AMD 760k with an AMD R9 270.
*Rant Over*
I really wish you gave a budget but okay. Indies and MMOs? Then you don't need a monster.
im not really a fanboy, i just picked nvidia because of physx and because you can oc your monitor with an nvidia card, can you do that with an amd card?
i would like a build that is not over $700, ive posted a build here before and see that people just scrap my build and come up with something totally different, was my build really that bad???
thank you for your help, im just kinda new at this
PhysX is worthless. Hardly any games actually use it and those that do render PhysX on the CPU anyway not the GPU. So it doesn't matter with most of them what card you have. Yeah you can OC a monitor no matter what GPU you have.
It wasn't that your build was bad it was more just you can get a lot more for your money than you got with your build. The i3 is kinda meh and an FX6300 is a little cheaper and about the same to a lot better in some aspects and an 8320 which is much better is only a little more. The AMD motherboards are cheaper. The Ram you picked is good but there are cheaper sets out there and RAM is RAM for the most part so you can always get what is cheapest.The 760 is a good card but the R9 280 is cheaper and better. I'm not a fan of that case so I changed it and your PSU is a little weak. 500W minimum you want.
Can back some of this up. Have an AMD GPU and I have overclocked my monitor. Only to 70hz but that is down to the monitor mostly. There are driveer patches for 120hz but that is to much to get into and also effects NVidia so Zero loss over clocking wise.
